Hi I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to define a column in slickgrid as being a drop down select list. If not does anyone with some experience with slickgrid know how I should go about adding this option?
Thanks
You probably dont want to make a new select editor for each range of options. Also you may not know that range of all option value beforehand.
In that case you want a flexible range of options in a select type editor. In order to do this you can add an extra option to your column definitions (e.g. called options) like this:
var columns = [
{id:"color", name:"Color", field:"color", options: "Red,Green,Blue,Black,White", editor: SelectCellEditor},
{id:"lock", name:"Lock", field:"lock", options: "Locked,Unlocked", editor: SelectCellEditor}
]
and access that using args.column.options
in the init method of your own SelectEditor
object like this:
SelectCellEditor : function(args) {
var $select;
var defaultValue;
var scope = this;
this.init = function() {
if(args.column.options){
opt_values = args.column.options.split(',');
}else{
opt_values ="yes,no".split(',');
}
option_str = ""
for( i in opt_values ){
v = opt_values[i];
option_str += "<OPTION value='"+v+"'>"+v+"</OPTION>";
}
$select = $("<SELECT tabIndex='0' class='editor-select'>"+ option_str +"</SELECT>");
$select.appendTo(args.container);
$select.focus();
};
this.destroy = function() {
$select.remove();
};
this.focus = function() {
$select.focus();
};
this.loadValue = function(item) {
defaultValue = item[args.column.field];
$select.val(defaultValue);
};
this.serializeValue = function() {
if(args.column.options){
return $select.val();
}else{
return ($select.val() == "yes");
}
};
this.applyValue = function(item,state) {
item[args.column.field] = state;
};
this.isValueChanged = function() {
return ($select.val() != defaultValue);
};
this.validate = function() {
return {
valid: true,
msg: null
};
};
this.init();
}
